Sunny Character Analysis

Sunny is a long runner for the Defenders. Although he isn’t strong at running the 100-meter dash, he has the most endurance of anyone on the team. Sunny comes from the wealthiest part of town, but he has a difficult relationship with his father. Sunny’s mother died giving birth to him, and his father partially blames him for his mother’s death.
